Elite Performance @ Burlingame - tuning shop hardly anyone has heard of, until now!
 

http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/...psv6l3gtb2.jpg

Get yourself ready! While purchasing an FR-S or BRZ is the equivalent to a bear waking up from its hibernation, waiting for that time to awake, an FR-S or BRZ owner has come out of its cave to enjoy driving again. It was in 2012 when Toyota paid homage to its affordable rear-wheel drive sport compact, releasing it as an FR-S and BRZ. These sexy sporty coupes are affordably fun to drive. And what is fun can be made better! Go!!

Elite Performance has been tuning cars to menacing machines on and off the track. There is no real test of vehicle than to run it thru the gauntlet of Auto-X and a racetrack. This is where Elite Performance technicians excel on a regular basis, building evidence that our capabilities of tuning performs well. It’s this experience where a client can come off the street and leave satisfied that their vehicle was just worked on by an Elite group of knowledgeable and experienced technicians.

Elite Performance is located conveniently in the center of the Bay Area. Our Burlingame shop is centrally located between the city, south bay, and the east bay regions. We are also within walking distance to downtown Burlingame where a collection of cafés, restaurants, and boutiques reside.

Elite Performance’s one-stop shop for all of your automotive needs includes:
Routine services and maintenance
Performance parts installations and consulting
Braking system installations and maintenance
Suspension upgrades and installations.
4-wheel alignment and consulting
Tire mounting and balancing

One of the few shops I would take my car to. These guys know their stuff! :cheers:

Great shop! Was just there today. My new go to shop when I'm too lazy to do my own work.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

First order of business is to host an open house. We're looking at a Sunday to provide as much parking as possible. Date TBD...

The only shop I take my Brz to now. Great experience!

the only shop I would take my car to as well. excellent quality of work, great customer service and always helpful. highly recommended!

I took my car there a few weeks back for some weird issues and they got it squared away. Gary is super nice and knowledgeable. Their pricing was actually pretty awesome too! Very happy customer here and I will absolutely be back when I inevitably screw something up!

Google street view shows some legit cars parked in the area, and members here seem to vouch for the outfit. Willing to give it a try as it's so close to my apartment.

Car just wrapped up its last 45K dealer (free) maintenance. Looks like your outfit is set up for everything from routine to track oriented prep. I'm having some possible issues with my intake/header/exhaust setup (unsure if leaking or what), how open to diagnosing issues are you?

My apologies for the general questions, the FR-S is my first modified car and first out of warranty car. Navigating the shark infested waters of independent shops.

Best way to get in touch with them is to call them during business hours with some questions and get an appointment to bring the car in.

Took my car to Elite performance for an alignment today, and they did a great job! Big thanks goes out to Gary, John and Eric @ Elite.

Their shop is clean and organized with a comfortable waiting area with wifi.

Looking to get a re-tune of my FI setup. Have you tuned turbo 86s?

Elite is legit!

Thanks for all the inquiries. And yes, best is to call/come on by. Today was a busy day as the later half of the day was prepping cars for this week's events at Laguna Seca.

Their tuner Eric tuned @RehabJeff86 FI 86!

I got an alignment at Elite. They even worked around my hectic schedule so I could come in. Great experience! Excellent work and customer service!

^^^ secrets out, we like 86s!

Cheating on the S2k eh?

Tested some aero, tires, and recent alignment changes at Laguna today. Good luck racing this weekend!!

S2K cheated on me...... :iono:

Thanks Jerry for entrusting us :thumbup:

Ahhh, Gary. I didn't make the connection til now. Good stuff :thumbup:

Best shop in the Bay Area
 

If you haven't been to this shop, you have to go. I brought by CBS BRZ there for a ton of mods: suspension, tire mounting, wheel alignment, sway bar installation, LCAs, toe arms, etc. They installed everything perfectly. They had to modify my Hotchkis end links because they were too long, and they made it work. Their work is top notch and these guys know what they're doing. There's a reason why they constantly compete and win races in the 86 Cup.

Everyone was kind and offered great customer service. They were very helpful and showed me everything they were doing along the way. I will definitely go back in the future. They didn't try to upsale me on any products and gave me their honest opinion.

Thanks again @Elite Performance I'll see you guys again. :cheers:

Thank you! Glad to provide service :thumbup:. We know what it feels like to have all those mods and one happens to fail. We don't like that feeling.

Couple cars receiving some love at Elite. The unique package of G37 IPL is very appealing from bumper to interior, and the real dual exhaust. It received new suspension followed by an alignment. Suspension and alignment was fixed on the Pilot.

Took my car a few times there. Can't go wrong with Elite Performance. Very knowledgeable and you can often find them at t hill / MRLS / buttonwillow mixing it up with the rest of the track enthusiasts too. Definitely one of the few shops in the Bay that has both experience and knowledge for people like us with unusual needs :D

BMW type of a day. Maintaining their sheer driving pleasure.

Got my 91/e85 tune done by Eric on Tuesday. He base tuned my car at Neal's shop. Eric was really on point with customer service and knows what he is doing. I dropped off the car at 2 because I had class I'm the city. He gave me a ride to Bart before working on my car. He texted me while working on my car and found my car a little low on oil, he fueled it up of course. After he got done I was getting out of class and instead of having me walk the 1.4 miles from Bart to his shop he drops it off at in n out across the street from Bart. He kept me posted on everything while I was in class via text. Thry car runs smooth, and responds well. Haven't had any issues at all. I am for sure a repeat customer.

Had a very nice experience with Gary at Elite Performance. After Neal @The Racers Line installed my new rear LCAs, I needed an alignment badly. Made an appointment with Gary but had to change to an earlier time the very last minute due to work. Gary was able to accommodate me and did quick work on the alignment. Plus, its always fun being able to watch them work, with convenient sitting inside the shop. Definitely will be coming back. Thanks Elite!

Big shout out to Elite Performance. They managed to fit me in at the end of the day today after a quick phone call because I was in the area and I would have to commute from East Bay again if I wasn't in the area.

I got my alignment done and now everything is nice and straight again. Gary was very knowledgeable and the shop is top notch.

Thanks for the feedbacks! Sometimes we get more cars done in the later part of the day than normal business hours. We do our best to accommodate peoples' busy schedules.

Thanks for the inquiries. Absolutely yes, Elite can get FI solutions for your FRS/BRZ. Jackson, Edelbrock, Kraftwerks, HKS, and Greddy are all available from us and with install and tuning done in-house, that makes it even more convenient.

You already have an FI? It came with the manufacturer's tune? And you want more...contact Elite for our in-house, dynapack tuning.

Got my Jackson tuned here. Best shop for the 86 platform in the north bay :thumbup:
